Chapter 50: Still at the pinnacle

Oden looked at Yao Ming, who had a calm face after scoring the goal, and ran away helplessly, it's really annoying to play like this!

Aldridge picked up the ball on the ground and turned and threw it at Roy. Blake made a move not far in front of Roy to get ready to catch the ball, and when he saw that Roy had no intention of passing the ball, he ran forward alone.

Before halftime, Roy's pace picked up and he rushed to the basket. Now Maddie near the three-point line is defending Roy and adjusting his position according to the direction of Roy's offense.

Looking at Maddie, who was trying to block him in front, Roy slapped the ball when he was about a step closer to Maddie, pulled the ball to the side, and strode around Maddie.

Maddie, who was half-squinting, didn't make up for Roy in time when he passed, but just stared at Roy with his eyes, as if his eyes could help him complete the defense.

Although Maddie didn't keep up, he couldn't just let Roy attack the penalty area unscrupulously! Even if Maddie wanted to say yes, Battier wouldn't!

Battier, who happened to be following Webster everywhere, was about to play through the penalty area when he found Roy, who had already gotten rid of the defender, and hurried over, ready to use his body to block the muzzle.

Die before leaving the school, and the hero will be full of tears! Before Battier could get close to the muzzle, Roy stopped suddenly, and Roy's shoes made a sharp grinding sound against the floor, which was deafening! By inertia, Roy leaps high and throws the ball.

Although Battier had done his best to make up for it, it was a bit far away, and he could only watch Roy throw the ball in front of him. The ball obediently drilled into the basket, and just like that, Battier was caught off guard and shot in the face by Roy.

Maddie, who had been watching Roy until he finished the offense, suddenly opened his eyes when Roy sent the ball to the basket, and quickly closed his eyes, but the light emitted at that moment made people dare not look directly.

"This player is a little spiritual, a little interesting!" Maddie, who received the ball again, looked at Roy with some playfulness, with a smile on the corner of her mouth, but her eyes became deep.

"Let me see what you're capable of!" Maddie said to Roy suddenly.

Roy was noncommittal, looking at Maddie, who was half a head taller than himself and became famous early, Roy defended seriously. Strictly speaking, the current Roy is just a rookie, and his talent has not been completely exchanged for strength, so learning how these long-established masters play is a shortcut to quickly improve his strength!

Looking at Roy, who focuses on defense, Maddie remembers himself when he first entered the league ten years ago, the same monograph, the same start from defense. The years have passed, and the prosperity is like a dream, and it has been ten years in a blink of an eye.

"I should respect him!" Maddie's voice popped up in her head.

"Hmm...... Maddie vs. Roy, is this ready to return one? Maddie is really Maddie, how can he let his juniors score goals in front of him like this! ”

"Teacher Zhang, look, Maddie's eyes are actually wide! God knows, I thought Maddie's eyes wouldn't be open. The audience in front of the TV also smiled, who made Damaizi usually look like he couldn't wake up.

Of course, Maddie didn't know about other people's ridicule, and even if he did, he didn't have time to pay attention to it now, because Maddie's attention was now focused on this attack.

Maddie is one of the most explosive first step owners, although he has been plagued by injuries in recent years, but the emaciated camel is always bigger than the horse!

Maddie controls the rhythm, Roy doesn't dare to slack off, he played last season, Roy knows how terrifying Maddie's strength is! For these superstars, a second of negligence is a chance to score.

Just when Roy was stunned, Maddie suddenly took a step, as if he was at his peak, and a quick and explosive step passed Roy in an instant, and rushed into the free throw line in a big stride. Before Oden could make up for it, Maddie made a pull-up jumper.

Oden made a pick-and-roll on the outside for Blake, who was in possession of the ball, to block Alston to one side, but fortunately Alston quickly came around and did not form a disposition.

The Trail Blazers were running the ball and looking for opportunities. Oden fell low again, held Yao Ming behind him, and reached for the ball to prepare for the single.

Oden forced Yao Ming to sit inside, although Yao Ming was also defending hard, but he was still squeezed back by Oden little by little, and the defensive area he occupied kept shrinking under the basket.

Oden, who felt that the time was about the same, blocked Yao Ming with one hand across his chest, hooked the ball into the basket with the other hand, turned around with his back and hooked his hand, and picked the ball into the basket hard.

The first quarter of the game was slowly spent in the two centers attacking each other, although Roy and Maddie also played well in the middle, but Oden and Yao Ming set the tone of the first quarter of the game as a duel between centers early.

The game was a bit dull, but it was a lot of fun to play between these two different types of centre-forwards. A heavy sword without a blade wins with strength, and a fortune wins with skill.

With two minutes left in the first quarter, Yao Ming went down to rest, and took the opportunity to launch a 10-0 attack wave from the Trail Blazers. At the end of the first quarter, the Trail Blazers led by 12 points at 37:25.

In the second quarter, Maddie, who had rested first, returned to the court. The Rockets, who took the lead in attacking, kicked off the offense when Alston received the ball.

Substitute Jattley who replaced Roy. Jack takes on the responsibility of defending Maddie.

At the top of the three-point line, Maddie held the ball in one hand and squatted slightly to make a breakthrough. Jack didn't dare to stick too close, after all, Maddie's exaggerated first step couldn't even stop Roy, who had the best defense inside and outside the team!

Looking at Jack, who was half a meter away from him, a sneer pulled out at the corner of Maddie's mouth, it was really too naïve! Since you don't want me to break through, then I won't break through!

Thinking of this, Maddie suddenly jumped up and threw the ball. Pull-up jumper! The word popped up in Jack's mind, damn it, he forgot that his specialty was the pull-out jumper! Jack was remorseful.

However, Maddie was a good guy and didn't make Jack regret it for long, breaking the ball when the Trail Blazers moved it once.

The Rockets quickly counterattacked, and Maddie took the lead in the front. Jack and Blake, who were in the back, hurriedly returned to the defense, but the speed was still not enough, so they could only hang behind Maddie.

Looking at the empty penalty area under the basket, Maddie jumped high, and his heart flew with it. Looking at the basket that was getting closer and closer, Maddie did not dunk directly, but pulled a big windmill before stuffing the ball into the basket.

"After the steal, a dragon fast attack windmill dunk, it seems that Maddie's physical condition has been really good recently!" Seeing Maddie's quick attack after the steal, Yang Yi said sincerely.

"In fact, the Rockets' talented lineup is good, as long as they stay healthy, the Rockets playoffs are still worth looking forward to!" Teacher Zhang Weiping said with a smile.

After Maddie landed, he touched his knees and waist, patted him gently, and muttered: "Old man, we should be at the top!" ”
